Noted for the first time from Polynesia
by the author, this shell has beige spots and a shiny brown color which
becomes darker at the body whorl bases.

Back bordered by a peripherical white band, the subsutural band is dark
brown and white. The noded subsutural band is defined by punctuations
between the ribs.

The axials ribs are well visible, curved
and finished in sharp ridges linked with the nodes. The aperture is
slighlty oval and the columella is curved. The operculum has a uniformal
shine with a red-brown color.

The animal is transparent red with a few
cloudy white markings.

It is collected at night in more than 30m depth in the calm, muddy sand
bottom waters of the lagoon.
